4. Please note that Glogster will only allow videos up to 100 MB. Raw video footage takes up a lot of memory (usually more than 100 MB). We recommend using an application such as Windows Movie Maker or Animoto to create the final cut of videos uploaded to your Glog. These applications compress the overall file.
Large files (such as images and vide os) may take a while to upload to your Glog. Try uploading these at the beginning of your work session so that you can work on other features while the objects are uploading.
